Abstract

Galloway-Mowat syndrome is a very rare genetic disorder characterized by a variety of physical and developmental abnormalities, especially neurological abnormalities and progressive primary kidney disease. Physical characteristics may include microcephaly (a condition that indicates that the size of the head circumference is significantly smaller than expected for the child’s age and sex) and, in some cases, protrusion of part of the stomach through an abnormal opening in the diaphragm. Galloway-Mowat syndrome is caused by changes (mutations) in the WDR73 gene in a subset of cases.
